Default country name
May 15, 2009, 01:12:02 am
While defining "setting" i setup USA as a "default country" to be used in user registration profiles. However, when registration processed , "country" field still empty. ( it seems to fill up if i chose any country beside default one).

Is it a feature or bug ? How can i force profile to fill up "country" field even for default country?

hi staskh,

To set default country go to : Administer CiviCRM -> Localization -> select "Default Country"
make sure your default country available in "Available Countries".

Now when u go to any form which consist of profile which having country field.
It should get set default to your default country, when there is no country field value for trigger contact record.

you might want to check here : http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/

if issue persist you might want to give exact steps to replicate.

thanks
kiran

Thank you for prompt responses, but apparently I didn't describe my issue clear enough - yes, i find out how to specify a "default country" and , yes, it is appears on the profile entry form. But... The country name is not recorded in the profile record - it still blank. If i chose any non-default country name in profile editing, appropriate name will be entered into record, but not default one....

Any thoughts?

this is a bug/feature in the system. If the default country is the only data in the address block it is not stored.

One work around is to not have a default country

Thanks for clarification!

Associated question - is it possible to change order of countries names in drop-down list from ABC to any custom? For example, setting few popular countries at the head of the list ?

currently no. this has come up a couple of times and a patch to fix this would be great.

The code for this is in CRM/Core/PseudoConstant.php, check for functions with country in the function name
